Dynamic Range Wins Del Mar Feature
Dynamic Range, claimed for $40,000 in May at Hollywood Park, declared a dividend on his new owners' investment Thursday with a come-from-behind triumph in Del Mar's feature race at a mile and three-eighths over the infield Jimmy Durante Turf Course.
Sent postward the favorite at 3-2 under jockey Martin Garcia, Dynamic Range rallied strongly in the stretch to win by almost two lengths in 2:13.94 for the marathon distance. Hog's Hollow outfinished longshot Ducane by a head for second money, with Racketeer fourth in the field of six older horses; Falcon Rock was scratched earlier in the afternoon.
Dynamic Range, a four-year-old gelding by Dynaformer, returned $5, $3.20 and $2.40 after his fourth win in 16 career outings. The horse is owned by the Indizguys Stable of brothers Jack and Doug Disney, Ross Newhan, Paul Salata and Buck Rodgers and trained by Mike Mitchell.
Runner-up Hog's Hollow paid $4.80 and $3.60, while Ducane returned $6.20 to show.
Thursday's attendance was 9,702.
